The 10 Best Concerts & Shows in Kansas, Kansas

November 11, 2021 Kelli Reichel

See a buffalo up close, live like a cowboy for a day on a working cattle ranch or visit a stagecoach stop on the Sante Fe Trail are just a few of the many vacation experiences possible in this state in America’s heartland. You’ll love the wide-open spaces and the opportunities to engage in a variety of one-of-a-kind experiences in this marvelous state, which has the largest segment of true tallgrass prairie remaining in the U.S. Regardless of where you visit: a major metropolitan area like Kansas City, a college town like Manhattan or Lawrence or engaging places like Wichita, Dodge City and Salina, there are a wide array of attractions and sights nearby. If you want to familiarize yourself with cowboy culture, visit the Boot Hills Museum in Dodge City, dine on all-you-can-eat barbeque and hear songs of the American Cowboy at Diamond W Chuckwagon Supper in Wichita or explore the Dickinson County Heritage Center in Abilene, which has dance halls, gaming rooms and 32 saloons. For outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy hiking, biking, fishing, bird watching and other activities, three of the state’s most popular parks are: Cheney State Park near Wichita; Scott State Park near Scott City and Tuttle Creek State Park near Manhattan.

And the possibility of becoming a different person than when you started. This is the heart of a Wichita Symphony experience. It's not just music - it's an adventure.

Salina Community Theatre

Reviewed By PatriciaD1110 - Bennington, United States

If you love theatre, are new to theatre or maybe aren’t sure....I can guarantee you’ll be entertained. The productions are all top notch, from the little children’s to the young adults to the older adults....you can count on a superb production, and the best part is, they’re ALL volunteers. Truly amazing the dedication, stamina & talent they posses. The live orchestra is made up of local talent & they are amazing. The costumes & sets are fabulous. I am always wow’d by the designs. If you’re a local be sure to buy the season tickets. If you’re passing through on business or vacation, attend a performance (or better yet, plan to make SCT a stop on your trip). SCT is definitely a destination you won’t want to miss. You won’t be disappointed!!!

The food was great and the play was great! I loved the humor. Would have preferred a table for two; however, the other people we sat with her a good match with our personalities

My husband came up from Alva, Oklahoma to see this dinner theater production and I was beyond impressed! The show was so halliarious and I can't wait to come back again and again and again! I give it 10 out 5 stars! There was so much amazing talent in that room! Strongly encourage everyone to go check it! The wait staff was also very polite and on top of things. No complaints whatsoever.
